station's inventory, and the right portion displays your inventory. You
will notice that the station inventory section has a list of equipment
types - this portion of the market display is used to simplify item
browsing at a station, due to the large amount of items that are kept in
stock. (To the left of each sub-category you will notice an icon. these
are useful symbols to know, as each item will always display this icon
for easy reference.)
